Führungsbahn bewegt werden.Figures 1, 2 and 3 each show a section of a
Die eine Endfläche 16 des ersten Segmentes 10 ist
teilzylindrisch konvex ausgebildet, wie aus Figur 2 und aus
Figur 3 ersichtlich ist. Die zugehörige zweite Endfläche 18
des benachbarten zweiten Segmentes 12 der Gebäudeöffnung-Abdeckung
ist teilzylindrisch konkav ausgebildet, wie die
Figuren 2 und 3 ebenfalls deutlich erkennen lassen.One
Die Scharniereinrichtung 14 weist ein erstes
Scharnierelement 20 und ein zweites Scharnierelement 22
auf, die miteinander mittels einer gemeinsamen
Scharnierachse 24 schwenkbeweglich verbunden sind. Das
erste Scharnierelement 20 ist von einem Blechteil gebildet,
das einen ebenflächigen Befestigungsabschnitt 26 und vom
Befestigungsabschnitt 26 von dessen axial
gegenüberliegenden Rändern 28 in die gleiche Richtung
senkrecht wegstehende Deckflügel 30 aufweist. Der
Befestigungsabschnitt 26 ist mit Langlöchern 32
ausgebildet, durch welche Schrauben 34 in das erste Segment
10 eingeschraubt sind, um das erste Scharnierelement 20 am
ersten Segment 10 zu befestigten. Das zweite
Scharnierelement 22 ist ebenfalls von einem Blechteil, d.h.
von einem Blechstreifen, gebildet, der mit einem
Befestigungsabschnitt 36 am zweiten Segment 12 fixiert ist.
Zu diesem Zwecke ist der Befestigungsabschnitt 36 mit
Langlöchern 38 ausgebildet, durch die sich Schrauben 40
hindurch erstrecken, mit welchen das zweite
Scharnierelement 22 am zweiten Segment 12 befestigt ist.
Dabei wird die Scharniereinrichtung 14 mit dem ersten
Scharnierelement 20 am ersten Segment 10 und mit dem
zweiten Scharnierelement 22 am zweiten Segment 12 derartig
befestigt, dass ihre gemeinsame Scharnierachse 24
mindestens annähernd im Krümmungsmittelpunkt der
teilzylindrisch konvexen ersten Endfläche 16 des ersten
Segmentes 10 und der teilzylindrisch konkaven zweiten
Endfläche 18 des zweiten Segmentes 12 positioniert ist.The
Die Scharnierachse 24 der Scharniereinrichtung 14 ist von
einer Rohrhülse 42 gebildet, die zwischen den beiden einen
Fingerschutz bildenden Deckflügeln 30 der
Scharniereinrichtung 14 festelegt ist. Diese Festlegung
erfolgt beispielsweise durch eine Aufbördelung 44 der
Rohrhülse 42 an ihren beiden voneinander entfernten Enden,
wobei die Aufbördelung 44 an der Aussenseite 46 des
jeweiligen Deckflügels 30 anliegen kann.The
An jedem Segment 10, 12 sind Laufrollen 48 gelagert, von
welchen in Figur 1 eine einzige zeichnerisch dargestellt
ist. Die Laufrollen 48 sind entlang (nicht gezeichneten)
Laufschienen am Rande der entsprechenden Gebäudeöffnung
verfahrbar, welche eine gekrümmte Führungsbahn für die
Segmente 10, 12 der Gebäudeöffnung-Abdeckung festlegen.On each
Jede Laufrolle 48 weist eine Rollenachse 50 auf, an der die
zugehörige Laufrolle 48 drehbar gelagert ist. Die
Rollenachse 50 der jeweiligen Lagerrolle 48 weist einen
Achs-Lagerabschnitt 52 auf, der sich spielfrei durch die
Rohrhülse 42 der Scharniereinrichtung 14 hindurch
erstreckt. Zu diesem Zwecke ist der Achs-Lagerabschnitt 52
mit einem Durchmesser dimensioniert, der dem lichten
Innendurchmesser der Rohrhülse 42 entspricht. Um die
Laufrolle 48 definiert von der zugehörigen
Scharniereinrichtung 14 axial zu beabstanden, ist die
Rollenachse 50 mit einem Rollen-Lagerabschnitt 54
ausgebildet, dessen Durchmesser grösser ist als der
Durchmesser der Achs-Lagerabschnittes 52. Die jeweilige
Laufrolle 48 ist also an einer Rollenachse 50 gelagert, die
mit der Scharnierachse 24 der Scharniereinrichtung 14
zusammenfällt. Eine eigene Halte- bzw. Lagereinrichtung für
die jeweilige Lagerrolle 48 ist erfindungsgemäss in
vorteilhafter Weise entbehrlich.Each
Gleiche Einzelheiten sind in den Figuren 1, 2 und 3 jeweils mit denselben Bezugsziffern bezeichnet, so dass es sich erübrigt, in Verbindung mit allen Figuren alle Einzelheiten jeweils detailliert zu beschreiben.The same details are in Figures 1, 2 and 3, respectively with the same reference numerals, so that it superfluous, in connection with all figures all details to be described in detail.
Das zweite Scharnierelement 22 ist mit einem Lagerabschnitt
56 ausgebildet, der die Rohrhülse 42 umgreift.The
Die Figuren verdeutlichen ein erstes Scharnierelement 20
mit Deckflügeln 30, die eine Verschwenkung der Segmente 10
und 12 um annähernd 180° ermöglichen und hierbei den
Zwickelraum zwischen dem ersten und dem zweiten
Scharnierelement 20 und 22 nach aussen verdecken.
Selbstverständlich sind auch Aussbildungen der
Scharniereinrichtung 14 möglich, bei welchen die Deckflügel
30 nicht halbkreisförmig sondern kreissegmentförmig mit
einem Öffnungswinkel gestaltet sind, der < 180° ist. Die
Gestaltung der Deckflügel 30 hängt vom jeweiligen Einsatz
der Scharniereinrichtung 14 ab.The figures illustrate a
